Wonder of wonders, there ARE some normal females out there. Thankfully.
I was handed the book by a ‘friend’ of mine. I read one paragraph and handed it back saying ummmm no thanks. Stunned I was asked if I was a prude. I said no but that I only spent my time on things that were at least somewhat well written and I had no interest in reading about sick bondage from childish writers
We haven’t talked since....lucky for me

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LOVE that review! ;-)
FTR: I am a middle-aged, rock bass-playin’, Biker, Conservative, Christian WOMAN!
Don’t plan on reading the book or watching the movie, ever. Even so, the theme is in my face all the time-I’ve decided not to shop at Target due to the 50 Shades “toys” they sell now.
As my husband said, why isn’t normal, healthy and loving sex enough? It is quite disturbing to see the use of another person for selfish gratification (no love or affection from him)celebrated as sexy. Shouldn’t women dream of being cherished rather than of being an object who is there solely for his satisfaction?
I suppose it’s just one more step towards the destruction of family by normalizing an act that is a perversion of what God intended for a man and his wife.
Is this the gal that said it was the worst movie she’s ever seen?
I’ve actually heard a number of people say that, but for a movie critic to say it is pretty bad. Those people watch A LOT of movies, many of which are not so good.
One of my high school students went to see it and said it’s the worst movie she had ever seen.
Okay, I did not read the book. However, I have had portions read to me.
I have a co-worker who has a chip on her shoulder about me because I can generally discuss literature with others and she feels left out because she doesn’t read books. She wanted to impress me one day - she had read herself a book! - and so proceeded to tell me about this great book. You guessed it - Fifty Shades of Grey. I told her that kind of book was not my cup of tea but she continued to go on about how wonderful it was - EVERYONE at her pool just loved it! I told her I was glad she enjoyed it but I still wasn’t planning on reading it - REALLY not my cup of tea.
Well, the next day she brings the book in to work and decided to read a few passages to me. After a couple of paragraphs I thought she was having me on; perhaps she was reading a parody from The Onion. But she’s really not that subtle with her pranks, so I soon realized (to my horror) that she was probably reading from the actual book. Not wanting to tee her off by accusing her of pranking me, I asked to see the cover of the book. Sure enough, no prank was being pulled.
I really feel sorry for anyone who has wasted a moment of their finite time upon the earth reading that book.
Nothing wrong with her example of British dentistry. Those are some quiet, genteel, even and pearly white teeth!
